I have never understood, why a sentence like "Oh, eh, oh!"

Good words. I have never understood, why a sentence like

“Oh, eh, oh!”

They allow it because its not the same thing. This is a straw man, they should be asking: If you had a machine that could make an exact copy of a company car would you allow employees to make a copy and take it home? Its a totally different question. “After all you would not let your employees steal a company car so why are corporates allowing this to continue?”
